PAWSitive Dog Sports Association was pleased to host the Canadian Regional this past weekend in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada. We had an awesome group and a fun time. Judge Murrelet Halterman, Onyx, CA brought a great attitude and some fun, but technical courses (We gave her some Canadian mitts and a Toque on Friday night, so she had no issues with the -29C/-21F outside Saturday morning.) The always smiling Liane Bitinsky was our Cheif Course Builder.
This was the first Regional to be remotely scored by Chris and the NADAC office from.....(not a clue), but it went without a hitch. He quickly responded to questions from exhibitors and trial staff.
